Re: Screen Hacking a Problem...
Hey Dan, I would think that harder to maintain is very subjective as I find them much much much easier to maintain than PRGs. Do you have some statistics to backup your assertion that running an SCX is slower than a PRG (I have no doubt it is, but I'd like to see by how much). Thanks Frank.

Re: Screen Hacking a Problem...
If you're dealing with @GET/SAY stuff then a re-write is probably in order. Can you actually segregate the screen stuff from the I/O stuff and business logic? (we used to make toxic program soup in the old days!). If so then I would suggest a staged approach: 1) separate (but don't change) a) screen stuff b) I/O stuff (use, select, skip, locate, scatter...) and c) business logic. If it all still works when you've done the split then next look at what the user sees for each business function and design brand new VFP screens to do the same thing. If that works then you have the future option of moving your data to a back-end server and replacing dbf's with (initially at least) cursors or views. been there - done it - make change gradually - it's LOL AndyD On 17/01/2013 18:28, Frank Cazabon wrote: Hey Dan, I would think that harder to maintain is very subjective as I find them much much much easier to maintain than PRGs.

I guess so, but to be honest I do not have a problem with source control either, the screen gets generated as a text file if I need to compare things and it's all done invisibly to me. Frank.

Re: [NF] VFP applications moved to Chromebook?
We have a VFP9 SP2 application for healthcare billing and ePrescriptions and a connection to many different EHR programs. We are having more clients using terminal services because it is faster than a local network and also because many clients have satellite locations. This is pretty easy to set up for a 'techy', but not something that most healthcare billers can do. Has anyone thought about putting an application like this in the 'cloud' and having all the users access with a chromebook? Chromebooks are cheap, simple, no hard drive, no updates, not much to maintain. They have a keyboard and mouse like a 'real' computer. They must have access to the Internet but then all our users with terminal services must have internet access.

Do you have some statistics to backup your assertion that running an SCX is slower than a PRG (I have no doubt it is, but I'd like to see by how much). Hi, Frank One of the members of our San Diego FoxPro group had a giant configuration dialog with at least 50 (and probably more) controls on it, that he converted from SCX to code, then did timing tests. It was quite a while ago (probably around VFP7 time), but as I recall he found that the code took at most 1/3 of the time the scx did to instantiate the form. Don't forget, when you call an scx you're reading a database while you're executing the methods for each control. That introduces a whole lot of IO delays into the process. Without doubt I'm prejudiced in favor of code. After all, I'm a programmer, and I like to program. I certainly find the form designer useful and convenient for adjusting the layout and appearance, but for execution and, yes, maintenance I much prefer code. In my experience most maintenance on a form involves changing what happens in the methods, and I find that a lot easier when I can see them all at once. Thanks for asking. g Dan ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/50f8917b.2080...@san.rr.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

FoxPro DOS Under Windows 7
This is kind of a long story, but I think it's a great discovery. I just picked up my car at my mechanic's shop, and he showed me something I hadn't thought possible. He runs a Parts and Invoicing program that I wrote in FP DOS 2.6 starting sometime in the '80s. He's still running it under Windows XP. But what he showed me was the same program running, in full-screen mode, under Windows 7, completely without modifications! Here's what he did: a. Bought Win 7 32-bit version (because DOS pgms won't run in 64-bit). b. Used Device Mgr to disable the Windows Display Driver, so that it uses the default VGA. c. Changed the DOS box properties to run 1024x768 in Full-Screen mode. We had tried XP Mode under Win 7-64, but could not get the Serial printers to work. We also tried running it under VFP 9, which sort of works but looks terrible on the screen. So he dug into it and spent a lot of nights Googling and experimenting, and by god he solved it! He also found something saying that Win 8 can run 16-bit programs, which we'll look into, but for now we're pretty happy.
